The Apprentice 2005 ~ You're Fired!!

[BarbaraJean]

Confused?

No, I get you! But I bet you confused yourself trying to put that into words.

redguard, don't you think that Tana's got it together?

redguard, don't you think that Tana's got it together?

I like Tana.

I don't know if it's real, or whether it's the producers who are editing the show, but they always show her making verbal slip-ups.

There was an episode where NetWorth hired a casting director and Tana said,

"She is a very well known casting director! She did Sex and the City! She's casting a movie right now with Uma Thurma; so I was like ooooh, that's a big name!"

That was sooo funny! And the show keeps catching her on these things.

 

[suzybeezy]

Clearly Chris has issues. He has had outburst and blow ups. He was recently arrested. And now he has an emotion breakdown after being fired from the show. (see snapshot) This is the first time I ever remember that happening.

Alright, if anyone after tonight does not think Kendra deserves to win it all, I'd really like to hear from you. She was the only one tonight who showed any real intelligence and drive (no pun intended) in what she was doing. It's obvious she loves being able to apply herself in these tasks. I'm so happy she's guaranteed herself a spot in the final 4 tonight!

I really want to know what Craig has against Kendra. Does he feel threatened by her? Can he just not work for a woman? He's constantly putting down everything she does. It was obvious Kendra knew exactly what the theme was for their brochure and where they were going to it...but Craig just kept whining on and on about how he said it lacked any direction. Meanwhile, her theme was brilliant! And the clip they showed for next week where he says something about him giving her respect that she still hadn't truely earned just infuriated me. What else does she need to do to be respected by him? It's like Craig knows he's not on the same level as some of the contestants so he's just trying to find ways to discredit them to make himself look better.

And up until tonight, I was still not against Tana...but tonight pushed me over the edge. She's doesn't deserve to make it. She's not as bad as Craig, but she made no effort to defend Kendra or even support her in the task tonight. Instead her and Craig just left to sleep. And I understand, some people just need sleep to function...but they could've been a bit more tactful about the whole thing. And I was nervous for Kendra...had they lost she would've been under fire for not being able to control her team.

I just hope Trump knows some of these little things that go on, I have to imagine he reviews some of the tape each week and has an idea who is truely performing on the winning team and who is riding on the coattails of the others.

Not much else to say. I still think Bren and Kendra deserve to be the final two...with Kendra winning out.

Wow it is getting down to the wire.....................

 

[bill'swife]

I wouldn't go as far as to say Kendra should win it all...she was clearly the winner this week. She was a great project manager for this particular task and she did what she had to do to keep from getting going to the board room and possibly getting fired. This type of project was nothing new for her...it is her "thing" so to speak. When you can't communicate to your team what it is you actually want them to do, it is extremely tiring. I'm glad she stepped up and completed the task instead of going to bed and then trying to blame everybody else for not doing what she was trying to get them to do like we've seen so many times before. They gathered the information, they just didn't know how to materialize it. Tana knew she wouldn't be fired so she was like "see ya wouldn't wanna be ya!!!" If her blessed assurance was on the line I think she would have been "burning the midnight oil". (And I like Tana!)
As for Alex...I'm not at all impressed with anything he does. Out of 150 pictures you think he would have gotten the one shot that Bren specifically asked him to get!!! It's almost like he is trying to sabotage his own team and once again "fly under the radar"! Bren even asked what he thought about what he wrote and he said "looks good" or "OK"...then when it comes to board room he said it was awful!!! But then again...he wasn't the project manager!!!

 

[Savedsis]

Good bill'swife...I agree..

 

[Redguard]

I agree as well. Kendra pulled an all-nighter and made a great brochure. So have I. That doesn't necessarily make you "The Apprentice".

And poor Chris... the demons must have been thrashing inside of him.

 

[pinkberry]

I hope Mr. Trump knows that Kendra did the whole thing on their own and the car company is even using her brochure! I think it was so irrisponsible for her team to bail on her like that. Whether I think she should win or not, I think she did amazing on this task!

 

[sjpianoprincess]

I still like Tana, even after last night's episode. It wasn't her fault that she couldn't stay up the whole night, but she and Craig could have given Kendra a warning that they wouldn't be able to do the all-nighter. I wonder what Trump would've said if they had been the ones to go to the board room and finding out about them sleeping while she did the task by herself. I'm glad Kendra did the brochure and did a good job. She really pulled off that task! The other 2 going to bed might have pushed her to do a really good job anyways.

That's really sad that Chris went to the board room 7 times in a row. But Trump seems to have a soft spot for him, giving him a handshake and telling him what a great job he's going to do out in the world. And then his other team members hugged him. That's a first for at least this season of the Apprentice.

 

[bill'swife]

I'm pulling for Tana next week...

Chris Shelton

YOU'RE BUSTED!: It looks like Apprentice finalist Chris Shelton forgot to take his Ritalin over the weekend. The tantrum-prone, tobacco-chewin' 22-year-old — one of Donald Trump's six remaining tycoon wannabes — was arrested early Sunday morning for disorderly conduct following a disturbance at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Tampa, according to TheSmokingGun.com. Although the exact nature of the incident was not known, given Shelton's history of spontaneous convulsions, not to mention his corpselike mug shot, TVGuide.com is gonna go out on a limb and assume alcohol, heavy dippin' and persistent voices played a role.

 

[Savedsis]

I am anxious to see if Tana does well next week..

 

[mathias1979]

I half wanted to see Magna lose last night just to see how things would've played out between Tana and Craig in the boardroom. Craig just frustrates me. He seems smart and like he could be very successful, but he just always seems to be slowing down the progress of the tasks. He just drones on and on about things that aren't entirely important. watch your generalities people!! seriously, what is that about?!?! But in the end...they had a good product. I was happy with myself because when they began talking about improving office supplies, I though to myself..."someone needs to seriously rethink those stackable trays".

I don't know why Bren and Alex were so in love with that desk. Other than that liftable top, it actually did have a nice design...but just wasn't practical enough for a real office. Was sad to see Bren go...I had him picked for the final two. But truth is he hasn't had much drive in him for the past several weeks and as it turned out, I guess he decided this job really wasn't what he wanted.

Should make for an interesting final 4. I still really thing Kendra could go all the way and I hope she does. I think if she makes it past next week it's in the bag! It may very well wind up being the two woman as the final two. Certainly would nice to see a woman win it for a change.

It was hard to tell from the promo what is going to happen next week. In the promo Alex says "I'm all on my own." But they won't make it 3-on-1. Are they going back to street smarts vs. book smarts? That would be Alex & Kenra against Craig & Tana. But in the promo it appeared to show Kendra and Craig working together again.

-Matt

 

[BarbaraJean]

I really hope Alex doesn't win. I can't explain why but something about him just seems fake to me.

I really like Tana. I like Craig too. I thought the Kendra actually deserved to be treated like a child in the last episode. It was fun to see him put her in her place.

 

[suzybeezy]

I hope it comes down to the two women. Tana and Kendra have worked well together and their efforts have really helped out their teams each time they've won.

 

[country woman]

I watch this show I am wondering who will win I hope It is one of the women

 

[New Creation]

Anyway, I feel almost exactly the same way that Mathias1979 does.
I like Kendra's guts to take a stand and not conveniently go for Danny as the rest of 'the pack' did. It bugs the heck out of me when people go for the outsider so quickly so as to save their own sorry butts. It was also smart of her because it wasn't Danny's fault that they lost. She called it and that will be remembered and will go a long way for her. (It might work against her though IN the team.)



This is my comment from the first show. I've liked Kendra from the get-go. She's got guts. I like Tana too. Craig? Sorry- not impressed. Alex- cute and scrappy but I'm waiting for anything else to jump out at me.

 

[mynameisjosh23]

I am personally rooting for Kendra and Tanya! Craig just seems a little slow like a doorknob or something, and Alex seems like he can't do much on his own and expects others to do the dirty work while he sits back and talks to people...lol. That is just my opinion anyway. Isn't Martha Stewart supposed to come out with a "The Apprentice: Martha Stewart" show? Lol, that will be interesting!

 

[karatedog4]

I liked the first season of The Apprentice but I don't really like the second or third season as much. I'm glad Martha Stewart is taking over next season.
